Webinar focus on sustainable cooling

GERMANY: Sustainable cooling in the cold chain will be the focus of this year’s Green Coo­ling Sum­mit, a two-day online event taking place next month.

The event, on October 10 and 11, promises presentations from a diverse range of experts from industry, academia, and government. 

Green Cooling is described as a combination of “natural” refrigerants and highly energy-efficient systems that are ideally powered by electricity from renewable energy sources. 

This year’s summit will explore policy approaches, technology solutions and innovative business models along the cold chain and look at how “green” cooling can help reduce food waste, improve food security, enhance medical cold chains, and contribute to a more sustainable future.

The event is jointly organised by the German environment agency UBA and GIZ Proklima on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
